Access Level Setup Options for Group Administrators

As a System Administrator, you can now control whether Group Administrators can log in as other users, or if they can reset the passwords of other users. We have added a new setting in the Access Level to enable or disable this access. Prior to this change, all Group Administrators could log in as other users and reset other users’ passwords by default. This change affects only the Planner Access Level.

For more information about the capabilities of a Group Administrator, see the “Capabilities of Group Administrators” section in "Creating and Managing Groups."

Create Timesheet Profiles for Groups

As a Group Administrator, you can now create Timesheet Profiles for the groups you administer and associate them with groups you administer, or users from these groups. Timesheet Profiles ensure that timesheets are automatically created for the users associated with them.

Prior to this change, only a system administrator could create Timesheet Profiles.

Recover Deleted Items for Users as a Group Administrator

If a project is associated with a Group for which you are the Group Administrator, you can recover the project, or any of its deleted tasks, issues, or documents from the Recycle Bin. Prior to this change, only a system administrator could recover items from the Recycle Bin.

You can now use compare mode in the HTML5 proofing viewer when viewing Static and Video proofs.

Compare mode in the HTML5 proofing viewer differs from the legacy proofing viewer in the following ways:

You can choose which version of a proof you want to compare directly from the proofing viewer.

The current zoom level and position of proofs within the proofing viewer are maintained when entering simultaneous navigation.

New Reset option when using simultaneous navigation.

When exiting compare mode, you can choose which proof you want to close. Previously, the older version was always closed.

Issues are now included by default on the backlog of your agile team when using the Scrum agile methodology (issues are not displayed on the backlog of an agile team when using the Kanban methodology).

Prior to this change, only tasks could be added to the backlog. If you wanted to add an issue, you first had to convert the issue to a task before it could be added.

The "Focus" and "Capacity" Fields Are Pre-Populated When Creating an Iteration

Now when creating an iteration, the "Focus" and "Capacity" fields are pre-populated with the average values for all past iterations your team has created. If your team has not created any past iterations, these fields appear as 0.

When you enable edit mode in the Gantt chart, you can make changes to information inside the chart. Prior to this change, you could not edit the information in the Gantt chart. You could only edit task information on the task list.

Using the Edit mode for the Gantt chart, you can now remove predecessor relationships between tasks in the Gantt chart of a project. Prior to this enhancement, you could remove the predecessor relationship only in the task list, or at the task level.

NOTE This feature was removed from the Preview environment and is releasing with the 18.1 release.

You can now budget your resources in the Resource Planner for any date, within or outside of the time frame of the project. Prior to this enhancement, you could budget your resources only for the dates within the time frame of the project.
